I know that I’m really hitting that spot in blogging when I’m not feeling that there’s anything to really pipe up about. I would love to have fresh ideas every morning, but sometimes there just ain’t much to jabber on about. Yesterday however, I had a fantastic run with my buddy John, We did a long out and back on a local rail trail. 7 miles up, 7 miles back. The whole run was enjoyable, including the sights and weather. We did a 12 miler back a month or so along the same trail, just not as far up. It’s crazy, but in just the extra mile we extended up the trail, we saw parts of our “back yard” neither one of us had been to before. I wanted to take some pictures, but it just didn’t feel right. I’m definitely going back up there with the DSLR to crack some shots, but I’d like to do it on a hike, when I don’t mind taking the time to relax for a minute or ten. Overall, great conversations, great miles, great weather and a new feeling that I haven’t explored all there is around here. (note, I’ve stopped linking my daily runs since I added the Strava widget to the right.)

Now on to the other hogwash. First, I haven’t written much about it here, but I’m super deep into pc gaming and have been for a long while now. It doesn’t stop there though, I’ve also played World of Warcraft for nearly 9 years and always get excited when they have there near annual convention in Anaheim, California. It was a blast following the attendees blogs and tweets over the weekend. This is definitely a “bucket list” event. The new expansion for the game is released this Thursday, and I’m giddy like a drunk donkey waiting to get my hands on it.

MORE hogwash. When I found Ethan Newberry’s Ginger Runner and began devouring all of his old live shows, I also came across a couple of other cats that are also making running movies. One of those runners is Billy Yang. Besides being a tremendous ultra runner himself, he’s made some fantastic films. His film “Sky High Flag: the Town | the People | the Race” about the running community in Flagstaff, Arizona and the Flagstaff Skyrace was superb. Well, we all knew he was working on a film that follows Sally McRae during her Western States 100 race. The trailer for the film has been on Billy’s YouTube page since July and I’ve been waiting for the final product. WELL, WELL, WELL… What did I see this morning in my feedly? Why it’s a review of the film by iRunFar.com. I was so stoked thinking that we were getting close to a release date. Up until this morning, I thought that Billy was only doing local premiers for the film and that being out here in New Hampshire, I’d have to wait even longer to see the final product. What’s this I read? Going live on his YouTube channel Tuesday, November 11? OUTSTANDING! I’m so excited to watch this movie and hope that you all head over there and check out his other films.
